Attempted Murder and Suicide
in Mercer County.


Early last Monday morning, Thos.
Mckay, a prosperous farmer of Pine
twp, Mercer county, was shot by
his brother-in.law, j. II. Harrison,
who then attempted his own life.
The ball enteIed McKay's head just
back of the ear, took a downward
course and lodged iE the jaw. Har-
rison then shot himself in the mouth
and stomach, and cut his throat. He
went to his brother.in.law's house
Saturday. Monday morning he went
to the stable with Mckay and when
about half way back to the house be
stepped behind Mckay and shot him
as described. Mckay turned to grap-
pie him, but before reaching him Har-
rison had drawn a butcher-knife and
was aourishing it threateningly. Nc
Kay ran to the house and Harrison
started on q run toward the woods.
Reaching the woods he made the des-
perate attempt to kill himself as stat
ed. He was q well-to. do farmer of
Lake twp, Mercer county, and was
never considered vicious man. He
was suspicious that Mckay was try
ing to secure control of his property
and would try to prove him incapable
of conducting his business. This is
the most probable cause of the crime.
1t is generally believed that Harri.
son is insane. One of his brothers is
in the insane asylum. Harrison is
unmarried and although in good cir.
cumstances lived alone on his farm.
In these days of numerous burg
laries and uncaught burglars, it is re-.
freshing to note the ce,erity with
which gang of ruffans, who attempt
ed to rob the family of Jacob Wagner
at Tionesta, on the 3rd of May, were
dealt with. One of the fellows was
killed on the spot by young Wagner's
rifle and the body of another was
found about two miles distant a few
days after The rest were followed,
caught and tried the week after. 1t
took the jury only ten minutes to find
then guilty of burglary and felonious
shooting with intent to commit MUIR
der. Judge Brown completed the
good work by sentencing the convicts
to ten years. Imprisonment. This is
prompt, sure retribution which is
very satisfactory to an ordinary OBJ.
